Impressive! It's rare to have the opportunity to interact directly with an attacker. Your quick thinking likely saved your system from further compromise. Stay vigilant!

I always run new malware. This one ended up with a human operator and was willing to chat. Must have scared them off LOL. You can see them closing the tools used LOL. Conversation occurs at 1:05 roughly

You should have played along lol and made the conversation longer

I’ve had these conversations too, I had one that opened a chess game and wanted me to play. He beat me as well. I’ve had some that send jokes, like horror videos, monitor picture flippers and stuff. But these are usually amateurs. Real attacker will not engage with you.

They were the ones who closed it when I found their RAT. I was testing remediation capabilities with different malware. I would resubmit the malware and blindly try to find it. That's when this happens. Whether the trojan was low level or really good made no difference to me.
